Focus on the space course

The Space Course is one of the 3 courses offered by the Cordée OSE of ISAE-SUPAERO.
It takes place in 4 stages: Discovering, Doing – these two steps are led by Club Mars students in the schools and finally Inspiring, Restoring. The Inspire time corresponds to the half-day of the space professions which was held on March 30.

The objectives of the space course are:

  • To create a privileged link between high school students and students of ISAE-SUPAERO
  • Develop the capacity for action and mobilization of schools
  • To discover science in a different way in order to introduce them to scientific careers and to limit their self-censorship in their orientation towards these fields.
